This song is absolutely beautiful. Little River Band had several massive hits in the late 70s. I still krank them and sing at the top of my lungs when they come on the radio. What prompted the review of a beautiful classic rock tune?
This is the music I grew up with. Probably one of the best decades for rock. I love how honest and open you are in your reviews. Keep it up. Cpl. Bryant Vreeland USMC (Ret.)
You have a great taste in Music. The Little River Band is one of my all-time favorite groups. I remember listening to them on AM radio as a child in the 70s.
The other day I was listening to a reaction on some song from the early 70s and, I commented that the first time I'd heard that song, it was on an AM radio and I was wearing Hip Huggers... Now it's digital and I have an AARP card!
Somehow this video showed up on my home page and I had to check it out. My brother introduced me to this group in 1977 and I loved from the first notes to “It’s a Long Way There”! I was hooked and had to hear more. One of my top 10 groups from the 70’s!!
I caught my hubby watching this video. They were the first concert I ever attended while up at Rick's Junior College in Rexburg, Idaho. It is an affiliate of BYU. Your video and your commentary was spot on. I was born in '63 so I was a teen in the 70's & early eighties. Yes baby, IT WAS AMAZING TO LIVE DURING THOSE YEARS and if I could run a loop in my life continuously until the end of time, it would be this. IT WAS A BLAST!!! I am sorry you missed it. Believe me, I lived enough for the both of us....lololol I look forward to listening to more of your videos. Thank You for posting this! It brought back some wonderful memories.
This one, if I close my eyes, reminds me of driving around in a 1973 HQ Holden, full of cigarette smoke on a hot day in the late 70s in Victoria, Australia. Strange how particular tunes remind you of a certain time or place.
Pink!!! This song is a song Someone I who is my exhusband and I would sing to each other..out on sailboat with his stepdad..On Lake Ponchartrain..Bc his his step dad would play this band..and say now this is good music..Yes!! Dolphins would jump up through moonlight..and it was innocent..Cool Change is good too by them..Dang!! That part Dont be thinking that I dont want you ..I do..Depends on our mood..bc we would get a bit frkn strange with our own words..Always on the sailboat or when we cook in kitchen..Love yall!!

I can remember seeing the Twilights (the forerunner of LRB) and having an afternoon playing pool with glen in Queenscliff Victoria. he is a really nice guy.
These late 70's early 80's yacht rock music is perfect for this time of the year jumping into summer.....start right clicking the other videos they recommend to the right after you watched this video.....sit back have a drink and watch the sunset on a lawn chair chillin.
The reality is whether u like the syrupy sound or lyric the vocals are top notch.... always loved these guys for their vocals..... kudos for giving it a listen.
Great Song... LRB is awesome! Yes, their harmonies are some of the greatest ever. They do their songs phenomenally live as well. More LBR reaction ideas? - The Night Owls, Help Is on Its Way, Reminiscing, Lonesome Loser, Take It Easy on Me, Happy Anniversary, Cool Change, oh so many more...
this song still sounds good today. i agree with you . "Lady " came out when i was 9 and i still love. im so gkad youre open minded with 70's and 80's songs
"and I love you best, you're not like the rest!" Wow! I almost forgot about these guys. They were part of the so-called 'bubble gum rockers' of the 70's.😁 They had *perfect* harmonies, good music, and great stage presence. I often wonder where they all ended up... Real people, playing Real instruments, that's what it was all about, and it was the little imperfections that made it what it was... sometimes those imperfections actually were used in future performances. Great reaction, thanks PMH!😍👍👍
Oh Dan... I wouldn't want to burst your bubble of fond memories. There's a reason they just kind of died out, but I won't share. Just look at the entry on Wikipedia or check out the interview with Goble on Rock History channel here on YT. Spoiler: you may come away with distain for greedy sobs...
I graduated from high school in 1975. We had the best music! Try anything from Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer. Also try some Little Feat. They were my favorite band.
I have a few songs from Little River Band here are the songs Little River Band - Reminiscing (1978) Little River Band - Lonesome Loser Little River Band - The Night Owl Another band from the 70"s Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street th-cam.com/video/Fo6aKnRnBxM/w-d-xo.html gerry rafferty - right down the line th-cam.com/video/NSfOB8ANdWU/w-d-xo.html
70s soft rock...lyrics, harmonies, groovy, little bit disco, catchy tunes that are easy to sing along to, bands actually playing their instruments, no electronic enhancers - vocal or intrumental, just simple and real
\m/ Great reaction, Miss Pink. Back in the day where there was real singing, real instruments and real harmony. You should check out "The Eagles - Seven Bridges Road". You will not regret that one. Great song. You Rock. \m/ =D
looking up Little River Band in 1988, they did a few concerts with Glen Frey from The Eagles too. Frey loved them and said they were actually more in tune with his personal style.
The 70's imo is the goldmine for stellar songwriting and killer vocal harmonies. So many bands of all styles were in on it and did not disappoint. Another epic song to check out is Man In The Wilderness by Styx. Not even one of their most popular 'hit' songs, but a fave among fans.
Just saw them a few months ago just outside of Philadelphia... awesome concert. Check out the new version of Night Owls ( hits revisited) great guitar solos!!
Shorrocks vocals are unbelievable. His classic Cool Change is probably my favourite, but there are many others. Glen Frey of The Eagles loved their music and did a couple concerts with them.
Anyone else know every single word but didn't realize they actually new every word in the beginning? One of those songs you didn't know became a part of you all those years ago. Thank you Miss Mona for the memories!
not the original members....what your going to see is a poor cover band....this current line up stole the rights to the name and tour under it....and in the process destroying an Aussie bands legacy....typical really if not got talent then play/use others people/bands material
Hey Pink! Great review, love your video reactions (Child In Time is your best, IMHO!). LRB was the bomb in the late 70's, they have amazing greatest hits album, every song a winner, please react to "It's A Long Way There", harmonies are incredible. They (sort of) still tour, through some extensive legal battles, one member who joined the band later ended up with the name Little River Band, and 3 of the originals (the main talent) regrouped as Birtles Shorrock Goble.
Good review. I also grew up to the 70’s music. A certain kind of innocence and tenderness not really demonstrated today. Thank you Pink! If you have time... Give listen to Emerson, Lake and Palmer “Lucky Man” I find it a very inspirational rock/ synthesiser mix.
Nice reaction Pink. If you liked that, you'll LOVE their song "It's A Long Way There": make sure you get the full 8 min version, not the cut-down single version, so that you get all of those cool harmonies plus an _amazing_ guitar solo. I'm surprised to read that it was first released in 1975, because to me, it's still the epitome of the 1960s hippy vibe.
This song is absolutely beautiful. Little River Band had several massive hits in the late 70s. I still krank them and sing at the top of my lungs when they come on the radio. What prompted the review of a beautiful classic rock tune?
LRB also went to #1 with Reminiscing and Help is on its Way.
Most of the world never had a chance to hear Australian music back then but we had some incredible talent.
This is the music I grew up with. Probably one of the best decades for rock.
I love how honest and open you are in your reviews. Keep it up.

Love Little River Band! They have many more great hits!
They're from Australia believe it or not. Great Awesome Group.
The other guy, I used to sing that around the house when I was 8.
Listen to LONDOME LOSER BT LRB
Aussies bands we have the most awesome bands back in the 70's and 80's

Such a great band! They were huge in the 70’s/80’s. Cool Change is so beautiful. 💕
This one, if I close my eyes, reminds me of driving around in a 1973 HQ Holden, full of cigarette smoke on a hot day in the late 70s in Victoria, Australia. Strange how particular tunes remind you of a certain time or place.
wow !! had totally forgotten about this song... love it !! it was on the radio all the time when i was a kid... thank you for sharing
Love this song!! 70's was my childhood and the 80's were my teen years. Good reaction!
russtex Same here.
Me too!
You have the smile of an angel. This world needs more of you.
You just said, "The 70's are really impressing me..." & I said, " Subscribed!" =)
You GOTTA hear Cool Change by Little River Band. You want harmonies? That's one of the best songs for harmony of all time.
Pink!!! This song is a song Someone I who is my exhusband and I would sing to each other..out on sailboat with his stepdad..On Lake Ponchartrain..Bc his his step dad would play this band..and say now this is good music..Yes!!

Some of the best harmonies in rock and roll. Try 'Lonesome Loser' by them. Wow
You hit the nail on the head. The 70s were all about Groove. You have such an infectious personality! Very positive
70'S is my sweet spot. That setup the 80's bringing rock and funk and grooves and harmonies all together
OMG reminds me of riding in my dads van when i was a kid. They got some cool hits (the little river band).
Oh man, that takes me back. Thanks for sharing.
Another outstanding group from Australia.
I can remember seeing the Twilights (the forerunner of LRB) and having an afternoon playing pool with glen in Queenscliff Victoria. he is a really nice guy.

I wish you had more views! I am doing my best to bump them all up and the likes as much as they will allow me! You are awesome, girl!
I saw them a few years ago. LOVE them.
Little River Band is an Australian rock band, formed in Melbourne in early 1975
I’m enjoying the smile, on this young lady’s face.
Great Song... LRB is awesome! Yes, their harmonies are some of the greatest ever. They do their songs phenomenally live as well. More LBR reaction ideas? - The Night Owls, Help Is on Its Way, Reminiscing, Lonesome Loser, Take It Easy on Me, Happy Anniversary, Cool Change, oh so many more...
Damn. That song took me back to when I was 10 yrs old. Thx for playing this classic tune.
Do “Reminiscing” next LRB tune. Classic!!
this song still sounds good today. i agree with you . "Lady " came out when i was 9 and i still love. im so gkad youre open minded with 70's and 80's songs
Little river band- Lady" Hermosa canción!! Gracias 💯👌 Saludos desde Costa Rica!!
That was a Great little trip down memory lane for me!
Thanks for the Ride!
They've always been known for their harmonies. Great reaction.
All of their songs are very good!!

Excellent choice and song! Little River Band is great!
I graduated from high school in 1975. We had the best music! Try anything from Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer. Also try some Little Feat. They were my favorite band.
When I was a kid my mom was playing this with a turn table thanks I feel young. 1970
One of my all time favorite bands and songs!!
A Really Beautiful Song That I Never Really Appreciated Back Then. Glad I Rediscovered It. Thanks For Sharing.
Wow, major blast from the past! Still love this song even though it has been 30-35 years since I heard it. Thanks for sharing, Pink.
70's was the Decade, of the best Rock & Roll , that century had to offer !!! It's all GOOD !!!
I have a few songs from Little River Band here are the songs
Little River Band - Reminiscing (1978)
Little River Band - Lonesome Loser
Little River Band - The Night Owl
Another band from the 70"s

This reminds me of being in my mom's car as a kid. This song was on all the radio stations back then
Great song. And really good watching your reaction ❤
The lead singer Glen Shorrock used to front a band called Axiom.They had a song called my babys gone.well worth a listen pink
Love the little river band. Grass roots are sick also. Just like them. Bella linda is a great song.
Matthew Richard I used to fall asleep to my grassroots 8 track when I was around 10,haven't thought of them in years,thanks for reminding me
@@philstone2627 my parents played both bands as a kid and they are great classics.
@@rambowbizz they Definately are man,I agree.hope you have a nice evening bro
The Little River Band was from Australia. They were a good band.
I grew up in the ‘70’s. Little River Band was one of my favorites.
You are awesome. You are one of a Kind... Love your hair do.!!!
\m/ Great reaction, Miss Pink. Back in the day where there was real singing, real instruments and real harmony. You should check out "The Eagles - Seven Bridges Road". You will not regret that one. Great song. You Rock. \m/ =D

This a great song, as always beautiful lady
do 'Reminiscing' by Little River Band
Omg lol. You've fallen into the 70s music vortex!! OH GOD....ITS A GIANT SOFT ROCK!!!!
Such a great song!
First heard it at the airport in Scranton PA, then a couple weeks later I heard it on The Office (the sole reason I went there)
The 70's imo is the goldmine for stellar songwriting and killer vocal harmonies. So many bands of all styles were in on it and did not disappoint. Another epic song to check out is Man In The Wilderness by Styx. Not even one of their most popular 'hit' songs, but a fave among fans.
Reminiscing is another great song by them.
Loved them - I was middle school age when they were popular. And, yes, definitely keep checking out 70's music. :)
Just saw them a few months ago just outside of Philadelphia... awesome concert. Check out the new version of Night Owls ( hits revisited) great guitar solos!!
Yeah I think the 70's was the best decade in rock no doubt
LOVE this song!! Omg the memories
Little River Band just might be Australia's greatest export... Great band!
Even if AC/DC never existed these guys would still suck.
Shorrocks vocals are unbelievable. His classic Cool Change is probably my favourite, but there are many others. Glen Frey of The Eagles loved their music and did a couple concerts with them.
What a song! Bring them back!!
a classic song, great music in the 70's..
Anyone else know every single word but didn't realize they actually new every word in the beginning? One of those songs you didn't know became a part of you all those years ago. Thank you Miss Mona for the memories!
I'm so glad you found this song.
One of my favorite bands
If you only knew how many babies were born as a result of this song being played... the ultimate make up after a fight song.
I love this
LRB will be playing live @ Stratton Mtn Vermont 6 July 2019
not the original members....what your going to see is a poor cover band....this current line up stole the rights to the name and tour under it....and in the process destroying an Aussie bands legacy....typical really if not got talent then play/use others people/bands material
Finally my favorite song! Thank you so so much!
I still have stereo gear from the 70’s, too. ☺️
I grew up with the 60s/70s music. Rock, and Motown. Best music ever.
They still tour today, a friend from school plays lead guitar for them now, Rich Herring
Not one of them is an original member of LRB....
Wait, you're a metal head? As in heavy metal? You are definitely not my stereotype for that! Haha. Love it!
Hey Pink! Great review, love your video reactions (Child In Time is your best, IMHO!). LRB was the bomb in the late 70's, they have amazing greatest hits album, every song a winner, please react to "It's A Long Way There", harmonies are incredible. They (sort of) still tour, through some extensive legal battles, one member who joined the band later ended up with the name Little River Band, and 3 of the originals (the main talent) regrouped as Birtles Shorrock Goble.
OMG ..this holds so many memories for me ...i was in high school when this came out..Try Cool Changes ..also a really good feel good song ..
My All time favorite song 🥰 Lonesome Loser next please
Nursing homes got the jams!!!!!
I can't ever get sick of this song.
Just beautiful.
The Little River Band is from Australia believe it or not. Great, and Awesome Band.
Saw these guys in concert many years ago. I think with Dr. Hook. The seventies was the best decade ever for rock and roll imo.
Good to see some more Aussie Music on your channel
The Little River Band and the Guess Who are two of the most underrated and most fabulous bands that I grew up with!
They don’t even compare, please !
@@brettjones4300 who's comparing them?
Sorry, but hearing those two bands in the same sentence seemed unholy.
Both are seriously underrated bands. 3 others I'll add are Three Dog Night, Bread and America.
@@alrivers2297 yep yep! (Baby I'ma love you, baby ima need you!😉)
All great bands!
It's A Long Way There (Full Version) is their best
memories.thank you Pink
Back when singing was an ART, and much pride was placed in musicianship.
Give Ambrosia a shot. How Much I Feel.
You won't be disappointed.
Good review. I also grew up to the 70’s music. A certain kind of innocence and tenderness not really demonstrated today. Thank you Pink! If you have time... Give listen to Emerson, Lake and Palmer “Lucky Man” I find it a very inspirational rock/ synthesiser mix.
I love this kind of 🎶! I loooove Dr. Hook! Also love the song "Burning Bridges".
70's amazing period for music. Thank you!
If you weren't someone stricken with a closed mind there was great music to be discovered in all genres.
The 70's music was the absolute BEST.!!!!!!!
"Reminiscing" is another great one from them.
You should check out Reminiscing by The Little River Band as well.
This is a great song of many by the Little River Band! I would like to see you react to" Listen to your heart" by the Little River Band!
Reminiscing and Lonesome Loser are two more songs by them that you will LOVE!
Nice reaction Pink. If you liked that, you'll LOVE their song "It's A Long Way There": make sure you get the full 8 min version, not the cut-down single version, so that you get all of those cool harmonies plus an _amazing_ guitar solo.

LRB came on the scene when I was in high school. Their tunes hold up after 40 years.
